The Commonwealth of Chrisdom

Redleg must be listening with video feed in to our discussions or has a mole or two in the room.
Pink was a triple top secret item. Even the word “pink” was not even mentioned out loud during the meeting. Only held up 3 times for all members to see on a placard.

The M1A2 TUSK

[redleg]

Great looking tanks, Chris! I love your workbench photos - partly because of the superb work, but also because of the cool stuff in the background!

Behind the M1A2 TUSK tank there is what looks to me like a tool van. Is that a mod that you did?

Estonia armor

[redleg]

Lookin good Chris!

[chrisswim]

Just finished the MERDC Camouflage for Estonia.
These were acquired sometime ago, finally had an idea without stripping them, Estonia armor.



Thank you Redleg.

[redleg]

[panzergator]

Good MERDC, Chris. Coming along nicely.

[chrisswim]

Thank you gentlemen.

Panama
Ranger School.
After the competition for team awards of observation, surveillance and apprehension the cookout on the beach was enjoyed by all.
The most recent class of new Rangers has graduated with high distinction. Two nations sent candidates to the Panama Ranger School, Moldovadom and Karmanaskis. All their participants did graduate, 3 of the Karmanaskis and 1 from Moldovadom with Distinction. The other nations that had candidates that graduated with distinction are ROD with 3, Monacodom with 1, Romaniadom with 2, Moroccodom with2, Bulgariadom with 1, CHIdom with 3, Congo with 1, Tunisadom, 1, France with 2, UK with 2, Nigeriadom with 1.
216 graduates in the January 2021 class. 5 candidates are filling in in the next class that is 1/2 way through their schedule.
Ft. Randolph had 2 flights of 737 transport planes bringing in personnel. They were immediately marched into a hanger with lights dimmed until the exterior doors where shut.

Gitmo Cuba
4 ships docked at Gitmo from the CoC Navy, 2 LCS, FFG and supply/logistics ship. Prior to their arrival a SSN and SSGN left port to track these ships for 3 days in the Atlantic. 2 troop and 3 equipment ships of the MV Horton Class are due to arrive at Gitmo.

Gitmo, Cuba
A small task force just enter the harbor at Gitmo, Cuba. Planning to have a basketball game with the Americans. We have one guy, he is a lookout since he is 7 ft, 4 inches tall. He is able to look just a bit further around the curve of the earth than other people with his binoculars. Plan to have some softball games as well. The sports facilities are very good at Gitmo. We will let you know how the games goes.
. We are moving some assets and supplies to S. America.
.
Ukraine
The CoC 99th Armored Div has begun to move two brigades south and southwest from the border with EE. The 2nd BDE of the 99th moved parallel to Hwy 3. The 3rd BDE moved south. Divisional artillery moved in similar fashion as the 2nd BDE.
The EE has moved 4 of their divisions further away from Belarus towards Moscow. There were the 20th, 22nd, 59th, and 65th divisions, including most of the trail. Some of the logistics trail took supplies into Belarus for the EE division located there. Rumors abound that some of these may leave Belarus to return to the EE.
.
Estonia,
One mixed battalion, the 1st, has returned to barracks for training and maintenance. The 2nd and 3rd remain near the EE border and Latvia, respectively. The US Stryker BDE did not move towards the EE not wanting to cause any political turmoil. The US unit in Latvia and Lithuania continued to train, but avoid any and all attempts to get involved.
.
Odessa Region, Camastan
Cama is making Karma products available on the street from retail outlets. Only a few that are owned by friends of the Great Cama are able to sell these special products currently.
Having this benevolent one lead does make the route more difficult in the event that Romaniadom and Bulgariadom need to move any military assets to the east such as the Crimean Peninsular more difficult since the trip is longer and needs to go through Moldoviadom. But the CC, Cama Chief is one not to be messed with, he can remove you and your country (and all your posts).

CoC Navy
The CoC submarines and/or ships have been and are tracking NC ships. There are grave concerns to the naval improvements of the NC Navy. Will need to keep an eye out for the technology gains to their capital ships, drones, etc. We are evaluating the performance of their new capabilities conducting an threat review, utilizing SWOT process. The review will help if conflict does ever arise with NC.
.
Panama
More military resources have been shipped to Panama due to regional concerns and the evil influence by the EE.
The patrol boats used in the region have had to have repairs to engines, hulls, communications, etc. They are used to intercept and capture the drug cartel merchandise, not that we put it on the market ya know.
.
Monacodom Army
The first units of M1A2 have been deployed in the Home Army 1st Armored Division in Monacodom being repainted in 3-tone NATO camo while others will remain in olive drab. Not decision has been made if the 3-tone Aussie Camo will be utilized for the Home Army 1st Armored Division. More M2A2 are also being deployed with the same division of the Home Army.
.
Ukraine
The forces continue to monitor the EE military movements, evaluation of communications trying to determine the intended recipient, context of the message. Extremely difficult to do. Some tourists do visit the EE and some intel riding in trucks up Highway 3 to Moscow. We do know that EE is conducting the same type of information gathering, at times we know which truck they are in and their intended route. The Ukrainian military is improving their training and operational readiness and capability.
.
Estoniadom
The armored BDE is rated highly ready after the evaluation for efficiency and effectiveness. A battalion of 2 armored companies (M1A1) and 1 mechanized infantry (M2) with a M3 Troop, mortar and an M109A3 battery with scouts/FOs has deployed to Lithuania to show solidarity with and train with NATO. They will then transfer to Poland to continue training.

[MechCommander]

You need not to be concerned about our new naval capabilities, as these came about after lessons where learned during the Black Sea War. These improvements will help us in our fight aginest the EE.

Atlantic Ocean near Nova Scotia
Two submarine commanders are a bit frustrated as the were playing cat-n-mouse then almost sunk by accident by the NC Navy.
Ships were detected, then the ASROC splashes and propulsion was an alarm.
Naval Yard
CoC Naval HQ, discussion is taking place if battleships should be acquired. Discussion points against the BB acquisition is the huge cost, the additional logistical requirements. The only advantage is the direct large caliber fire support, as the SSGN have the ability for massive amount of missile fire support.

[redleg]

Battleships are definitely not cost effective, but they're good for morale! Maybe for naval gunfire support. Being a nation of artillerists, the ROD has an appreciation for battleship gunnery. We are considering acquiring railway guns now too. Definitely an obsolete weapon, but the boys love to see the big guns go BOOM!
